God has a plan for all of us…
Now is the time to search for it!
If you dont believe in him, now that you think you have hit rock bottom isint it so that after this everything should be up hill?

LOL!
Have you looked at the popular post today?
Thats what I put as my phobia…
But I kinda put my faith in God and keep doing my work and hoping for the best…
All it takes is loads of patience… years of it :P

if ur religious (which im not for the record) ull go to hell.

if u have a family, theyll suffer.

if u have friends, theyll suffer.

u live one life. it may turn around and become worth living. isnt it worth taking the chance? it seems a bit more adventerous to live vs die, but thats just me.

Yes. You might not have anything to live for now, but life is constantly changing. You have to make things for yourself, make a life for yourself. What have you always dreamt of doing??

I had nothing to live for too…many times in my life actually. Thought everything was meaningless…everything. Thought no one understood…. no one cared. But now….yes! But now! I have found Jesus! Jesus has healed this broken heart and has filled that emptiness in my heart. You know what I’m talking about. That hole in your heart… you try to fill it with so many things….but you know what? That hole is God-shaped and only God can fill it and then, you are made whole! Now, I live my life for Jesus! Not for myself, but for Jesus and that my friend…is truly living life. Your heart needs to be given to the One, to Jesus who has made you! And until you do that, you will feel no purpose in this life…just going through the motions…following the wind because you haven’t found God, the Maker of the heavens and the earth, the one who created you. Jesus loves you and wants a relationship with you! Give your heart to Jesus. Confess that Jesus is Lord and that you believe God raised Jesus from the dead. Do this right now and you will be saved! Then, find a church and grow in your faith! YEA!

i feel the same way altho also i realize some ppl dont wanna believe in god but that a complete and total diff story so just keep ur head up and think about if u died it might make life easier (prolly what you think first of) but it would actually make things worse ppl would feel guilty for not truly talking for you and also pain is temporary it will go away soon but death is for eternity also you don;t wanna end up in hell because u dont like the way god created you hopefully this will help

We just believe that there are no gods, spirits, or magics. They don’t exist. After that beliefs can vary widely, but there are a few more things that may apply to the majority of us.

just wondering also whats your view on creation like why are we here on this earth?

There is truth out there and the truth is that Jesus died for our sins, so we may have a relationship with God. But, you gotta find this out for yourself. We are not hear by mere chance. If you found a cell phone on a deserted island, would you not think it was made by a creator? Or would you think that it was mere chance that someone created it? How much more with the human body! How can we be mere chance? We have a Creator, God, who made us and everything we see. We are the most complex of all that has been created. Man cannot even come close to duplicate the human body.

In Darwin’s Time in the 19th Century, scientists thought the cell (basis of life) was a simple blob or protoplasm, like little piece of Jell-O that was not hard to explain at all, but it’s far from simple

Cells – small and complex. A 10th of the size of a head of a pin. In the cell, 3 billion units of DNA making up the chromosomes and in those 3 billion units make the molecular machines of the cell work
The Bacterial Flagellum - the most efficient machine in the universe! And finally…

Darwin offered a way to test his own theory. In Origin of Species, he wrote,
“If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed…which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive slight modifications…my theory would absolutely break down.” If Darwin had our technology, there would be no way he would have talked about natural selection

Our DNA - - The most efficient information processing system in the universe

The Bible says that if you seek God, you will find God. Let us do just that… Seek God

Just want to say something… I usually do not come to this website. I just typed “help” in google and came here and was drawn to this thread. I do not believe coincidences. God is tugging at your heart. You will find life meaningful when you live for God, the God who loves you. You can email me any time. This is too important to just brush off and say whatever.

(Kenziepaige, thanks for your comment. That’s awesome! I’ll check out the youtube video)

If anyone wants to see God through Science, check out Lee Strobel, “The Case for a Creator.” Great dvd and it’s a book. An atheist who found God - amazing story and one of many whom have chosen to give their life to God to truly find life.

Frankly I am wrestling with the same question. What is the point after all. If you are miserable — years and years and years of misery — why continue? The only reason (besides cowardice methinks) is that it would deeply hurt my sister who is my only living family. I am so sick of this existence and I see no reason why I should continue suffering. Those who are not suffering in this way — daily — just can not understand what those of us who do suffer daily endure. Why not let us do what we feel? Why make us suffer even more by making us feel guilty about our true feelings. GET THIS PLEASE — WE ARE NOT YOU, YOU ARE NOT US, PLEASE LET US CHOOSE WHAT TO DO WITH OUR EXISTENCE IN THIS FLEETING WORLD. Thanks. ANd screw the PHARMA biz that sucks our bones dry — F***** them first! Ciao y’all!
